I don’t think I can go any further with this one. It’s awful writing, plain and simple. Over 100 pages is more than enough to know what I think. And considering I wanted to abandon ship 20 pages in, I think I did a lot.

I really don’t think I can force myself to finish this dreck. This is one of the worst books I’ve ever tried to read and a perfect example of why I dislike modern literature so much. Calling this “literature” is being too kind.

This is painful. How did I get myself into this?

I can’t tell if I am so old that I don’t know how young people talk anymore or if this is just poorly written. People don’t talk this way (in my experience).

This is not my kind of book but I inadvertently signed myself up to read it along with a coworker. So. Here we are.

I loathe books written in the present tense but so far this one is okay.

“I would never know what that finch said, and isn’t that really the disappointment of being human?”

“The advertisements promised I would feel like myself again, but what if I don’t remember who that was anymore? . . . If over time Miltown made me myself again, I was curious to see who that person was…”

The writing here is so much better than most modern day content. I’m enjoying it.

I am enjoying this book. The author’s writing is more sophisticated than most modern day authors (which is why I don’t read new stuff much). This is a pleasant surprise.

:(

“No one should have more than two kids. That’s simply obnoxious.” XD

“Of course, sometimes we forget that dreams and nightmares are two sides of the same coin.”

Does anything ever actually happen in this book?

The main character/narrator of this book is so annoying and unlikable. 😆
